Day 2: June 20, 2013
Long Term Reboot Project Goals
Using a format developed by Shelly Sanchez Terrell as part of her “30 Goals Challenge for Educators”, we will commit ourselves to trying new teaching and learning activities, and we will reflect on our progress toward specific goals. We will gather face-to-face for two days in June and one day in November. Between meetings, participants will continue working through the goals and reflecting on their progress. Teacher Reboot Camp participants who meet the challenge will earn an iPad to be used as a professional tool beyond the project.

Post your Action Plan on KidBlog
Title one KidBlog post "Reboot 2013 Action Plan", tag it "plan", and include at least these elements:
overarching focus or intent & brief reflection (e.g., For Reboot 2013, I really want to challenge myself to engage more students more often throughout my classes. I was recently reminded of the importance of active participation in content learning and retention...)
goals & checkpoints (e.g., Goal 19, Cycle 1: What Do You Believe; Goal 18, Cycle 1: Let's Move; Goals 6, Cycle 3: Investigate and Instigate Questions; Goal 7, Cycle 1: Step Out of Your Comfort Zone; Goal 23, Cycle 2: Integrate Technology Effectively; Goal 20, Cycle 1: Seek Feedback; Goal 22, Cycle 3: Teach Them About Kindness)
other (optional) interesting goals (e.g., Goal 5, Cycle 1: Update Your Online Profiles; Goal 30, Cycle 1: Pass the Baton)
support needs (e.g., Seek Feedback: I would love for a Reboot colleague/leader to observe a class or two this fall to track student engagement and suggest more ideas. Is anyone willing?)
If you would like to see an example, take a look at Jen's Reboot Action Plan. (Remember, your's doesn't have to look like this, it just needs to have the elements outlined above. Get creative or use a Web 2.0 tool if you'd like!)
Post your "Summer Reboot Reflection."
Post your reflections on a post titled "Summer Reboot Reflection"
Reflect on your experience these past few days. What are you excited about trying? Do you have questions or concerns? Do you have suggestions for our time together in November? If you need a structure, consider the "geometric" close" to guide your thinking.
Your Mission for November 4...and Beyond!
Blog Progress with KidBlog
After completing each goal--or periodically if in the process--post your progress toward your goals. What are your thoughts? How did it go? What were the effects? What were the challenges, and how did you attempt to overcome them? If you used a specific tech tool, what worked? What didn’t work like you’d hoped? What will you do differently next time?
Support your Reboot Colleagues
Periodically, check out your Reboot colleagues' posts, and leave a comment!
Connect with the group when possible (e.g., Hangouts on the 7th at 7!)
Lynne, Jill, and Jen will keep in touch and offer support.
Showcase a Goal
On November 4, we will celebrate your progress and accomplishments! You will be able to choose one of your goals to highlight with the group. These brief, informal presentations will help us learn from one another.
Our blogs (http://kidblog.org/ESU6Reboot2013) are currently viewable by our Reboot 2013 group only. (This is a feature that the teacher can control for students in KidBlog.)

These are the goals you may have accomplished independently or collaboratively after the end of day 1. Just :) Shelly got us started on them, and it's up to you to decide if they fit into your overall purpose. You may find yourself wanting to expand on some of these--great! You may find that you abandon these--that's okay, too.
